Market Size
Strong examples of the present image printing market can be seen here:
Multifunctional Printers Adoption Expected to Grow Significantly.
The demand for MFP's has grown considerably over the past few years as consumers have become more energy neutral. The energy needs of several standalone printers in a workplace are high, forcing organizations to develop print management strategies that included upgrading their equipment and managing their print, copy, and mail center.
Companies like Ricoh, HP, Canon, and EPSON regularly invest in R&D and constantly battle to improve their offerings. For instance, in January 2021, Ricoh released the monochrome RICOH IM 9000/8000/7000, reflecting an all-around representation of all the critical offerings in their advanced MFP lineup. To rival this, in April 2021, Epson released the WorkForce Enterprise WF-M21000 monochrome A3 multifunction printer that prints at 100 ISO ppm.
MFPs are also more secure than standalone printers. Since they utilize reduce a smaller number of units and reduced variability of machines, the risks are low, making it more accessible for IT staff to secure than individual desktop printers.
Japan observed a major fall in MFP print volume in April and May of 2020, while Thailand's MFP print volume was significantly impacted during April, May, and July of 2020. Vendors in the market were largely dependent on the services revenue rather than printing products revenue during the pandemic.
